A justification for the thin film approximation of Stokes flow with surface tension
نویسنده
چکیده
In the free boundary problem of Stokes flow driven by surface tension, we pass to the limit of small layer thickness. It is rigorously shown that in this limit the evolution is given by the well-known thin film equation. The main techniques are appropriate scaling and uniform energy estimates in Sobolev spaces of sufficiently high order, based on parabolicity.

Instabilities of Thin Viscous Liquid Film Flowing down a Uniformly Heated Inclined Plane
Instabilities of a thin viscous film flowing down a uniformly heated plane are investigated in this study. The heating generates a surface tension gradient that induces thermocapillary stresses on the free surface. Thus, the film is not only influenced by gravity and mean surface tension but also the thermocapillary force is acting on the free surface. Moreover, the heat transfer at the free su...
متن کاملScientific Flow Field Simulation of Cruciform Missiles Through the Thin Layer Navier Stokes Equations
The thin-layer Navier-Stokes equations are solved for two complete missile configurations on an IBM 3090-200 vectro-facility supercomputer. The conservation form of the three-dimensional equations, written in generalized coordinates, are finite differenced and solved on a body-fitted curvilinear grid system developed in conjunction with the flowfield solver. The numerical procedure is based on ...

In this paper, ferroelectric thin films, described by an ising model in a transverse field, have been studied under the mean-field approximation. We discuss a thin film composed of N-layer film of simple cubic symmetry with nearest-neighbor exchange in which the exchange strength and transverse field are assumed to be different from the bulk values in Ns surface layers, and we derive and illust...

ZnO thin film of 80 nm thickness was deposited by the sol-gel spin coating method on SiO2/Si substrate and subsequently post-annealed at 500°C with a flow of oxygen for 60 min. Crystallographic structure of the sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) method while a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) was used to investigate the surface physical morphology ...
